My good friend Al took me out ice fishing tonight, I have only been ice fishing a couple of times in my life, the last time I went was an ice hose at an IDO vet together on the pond several years ago. Tonight was the first time I used a flasher, what a blast! We caught 6 nice crappie’s, I am hooked and already looking forward to next year! Thanks for taking the time to get me out on the ice Al and showing me what I have been missing all these years.

Steve, glad to hear you’ve caught the bug! It really is my passion what an awesome sport! Enjoy!
Steve, that is exactly what happened to me about five or six years ago! Some of my friends would make a trip to South Dakota just before Christmas. They would show me picture after picture of perch, walleye, sunfish, & crappies that they had caught in two or three days. It was unbelievable! As soon as I retired, I joined them. (After about a 30-40 year gap in between ice fishing trips!) I loved it instantly! Bought a shack at Fleet Farm, along with a Vexilar, and now I love ice fishing more than summer fishing. I this year added an Ion auger to my Arsenal, and will continue to get excited whether I am fishing with my buddies and/or my grandkids! Just wait until you get to ice fish in April! (Two years ago, on the Mississippi Backwaters.) and it is surprising how many places you can fish!
